Monte Carlo shower simulations are essential for understanding and predicting the
consequences of beam losses in high-energy proton and ion colliders. Shower simulations …

The interaction of dust particles with the LHC proton beams accounts for a major fraction of
irregular beam loss events observed in LHC physics operation. The events cease after a few …

A comprehensive review of special beam loss scenarios during Run 2 is presented, with
main focus on studies and actions taken to mitigate their impact on LHC operations. An …

Events linked to fast losses in the LHC half-cell 16L2 have plagued a large part of the 2017
run. While a detailed analysis of what happened is treated at the LHC Performance …

Micrometer-sized dust particles present in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe are
believed to have caused many thousands of sporadic beam loss events around the LHC …

Run 2 of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started in April 2015 and was successfully
completed on 10th December 2018, achieving largely all goals set in terms of luminosity …

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research
(CERN) is the largest accelerator in the world, spanning a circumference of 26.7 km. During …

Several fixed-target experiments at the LHC are being proposed and actively studied.
Splitting of beam halo from the core by means of a bent crystal combined with a second bent …

The operation during the summer months of the 2017 Run of the CERN LHC was plagued
with fast beam losses that repeatedly occurred in the 16th arc half-cell at the left of IP2 as …

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is being prepared for its full energy exploitation
during run III, ie, an increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, targeting the …
